灣仔白腹海雕

[醫生馬丁·威廉姆斯]

I’ve been sent info on and photos of an adult White-bellied Sea-Eagle, perching on bamboo scaffolding just west of Convention Centre.
Attracted by reclamation work leading to prey being readily available?? Plus good vantage point.

Seen by John Saeki; he reckons there a month ago, but was there yesterday and today. Shot at top left by John; other shot by Martin Megino.

約翰佐伯 (John Saeki) 剛剛發來：

僅供參考，這隻鷹今天早上（星期四）上午 9 點回來了，俯瞰著煙霧繚繞的港口。
可以確認有關建築物是港鐵通風井，可能是金鐘至尖沙咀的連接線，但稍後會查找。
豎井對面是灣仔西污水處理廠渠務署。
與在附近工作的人交談，她告訴我她大約一個月前第一次看到這隻鷹。

No sighting since last Thursday am afraid.

Checked last Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday, Wednesday.

Will be checking again this morning. Here’s two pix, one from Thursday 22 morning, with glass of Grand Hyatt in background, the other one from the afternoon.

Soon after the preceding email, another message from John Saeki:

引用：

Glad to say my colleague spotted the eagle just before 11 o’clock this morning, two hours after I passed the spot without a seeing it.

幾年來，我一直在香港仔田灣附近觀察一對情侶，但最近幾週沒有看到他們在一起。
也許灣仔鳥是田灣鳥中的其中之一。

Thanks for comment; interesting if Aberdeen bird.

From John Saeki yesterday:

引用：

The eagle of Wanchai returned to its perch several times in the last week. I think about three mornings out of five, but I still haven’t caught a glimpse of him flying, or catching any food.

Just received from Mike Wright:

Regarding the eagles at Tin Wan, HKEC sent me the following reply to my query on netting placed on pylons.

Of course you may already be aware.

Dear Mr. Wright,

Thank you for your email expressing your care and concern about our handling of the matter related to the white-bellied sea eagles.

To ensure both the safety of big birds, such as the white-bellied sea eagles, and the reliability of electricity supply to the general public when these birds come too close to our high voltage power lines, we have erected netting at critical parts of our pylons after consultation with the authorities concerned and local green groups. To facilitate the settlement of the birds (while ensuring their safety and the reliability of our power supply), we have also built an artificial nest at a safer location to allow the birds to breed on the pylon.  We hope this arrangement could help preserving this special species while maintaining the supply reliability to our customers .

Thank you again for your enquiry and should you require further information regarding this matter, please feel free to contact our Senior Area Engineer (Western), Mr. K.W. Kwan.

此致，

L. Chan

Chief Construction & Maintenance Engineer

THE HONGKONG ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

9 月 10 日星期四下午 5 點左右，當我們沿著漁人碼頭/Laguna Verde 的海濱長廊散步時，我們看到白腹海鷹在頭頂翱翔，緊隨其後的是一隻棕鷹。它是如此獨特和美麗，以至於我回到英國後不得不去查找它。多麼壯觀的鳥。

你好，

I tried to add image but I don’t know how to do this
Can anyone be kind to tell me how?

thanks a lot

Can be bit of a faff, I’m afraid; software creators cautious re security – as I am too; get some dodgy posts attempted.

One thing is to sign up for site; can then make it a bit easier. Tho I haven’t found ideal solution for most users; will have another look later.

Hello there,
Does anyone know the latest on the Tin Wan eagles?
I’m afraid I never saw the Wanchai eagle again after the bamboo scaffolding was taken down in 2009.

自從 HKEC 安裝了防護網後，塔上絕對沒有築巢現象。
但偶爾會看到個別鷹在該地區飛行，尤其是在秋冬季節。上個月我在淺水灣圓島上空看到一隻成年鷹。

幾個月來，我一直在金鐘道政府合署的辦公室窗口觀察一隻白腹海雕，它定期在早上和晚上（下午 5 點左右）到訪香港公園及其周邊地區。

今天（2012 年3 月27 日），它在我從辦公室可以看到的一些建築工程附近的一根樹枝上坐了很長時間，清理它的羽毛並自行轉動，以便我可以清楚地看到它的背部和胸部。
